See things farther
I realize that one advantage of studying overseas is that I have little to lose. This is a good time to experiment, have fun, make a fool of myself and screw things up (not the grades though).
2 years later I can sort of start over again back home, but this time wiser and more experienced.
But I must always keep in mind who I really am and not lose myself in the process. Being myself gives me the most incentive and courage to act.
I guess I have had enough of observing and pondering over how I should be among the myriad of characers, for I could easily be myself.

Diving
Diving trip over the weekend was incredible.
The reassuring stream of air from my regulator, the spectacular coral reefs and the weightless gliding... Phew!
I thought I was more of a loner... Maybe not. I enjoy being around my friends but I prefer to observe and laugh along!

On the last day, a retired airforce major picked us up on the roadside and drove us to our checkpoints.
Peppered in between rides were dashes to save time and to overtake the other teams. The tasks at each checkpoints were fun (rock climbing, kite flying etc...) but could be more challenging to create more opportunities for overtaking. The greatest takeaway from this race was experiencing the kind side of Singaporeans. And I realize that I get carried away sometimes and start ordering my friends around. Thanks for putting up with me guys.

Kind Singaporeans
This weekend has been incredible.I took part in this 3 days 2 night souped up version of Amazing race with my friends. It is called Race5 organized by NUS ODAC. Like the Amazing Race, we are supposed to get from one checkpoint to the next based on the clues we were given, completing tasks at each checkpoint, Unlike the Amazing Race, we were hardly given sufficient money to take public transportations for the entire race.
On the first night, we ran out of money to take public tranportation from Bukit Chandu (Kent Ridge Park) to the final checkpoint at West Coast Park so we ran. It was a jog/walk with good speed, considering that we had our bag packs on and we were already quite tired out by then. Despite our efforts, we only came in 17th out of 25 teams. After talking to the first team, we realized that they have been hitching rides for free.
I must admit it was a leap of faith for me to approach strangers for help in driving us around. Imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when a middle aged couple readily agreed to help when I approached them at the car park next morning. Not only did they take an inconvenient detour from their original destination, upon knowing that we were in a race, they even waited for us to complete our task at the first checkpoint and sent us to the second one. When it rained at the second checkpoint, they furthur offered to wait for us and send us to the third one, but we got delayed extensively due to some problems and the nice couple had to leave.
Our next checkpoint was the West Coast recreation centre. Our first positive experience gave us a boost of morale and we decided to try our luck again at a condominium nearby. We stood at the entrance and asked the drivers leaving the condominium for help. Most of the drivers could not help but they were very amiable towards us. There weren't many cars leaving the condo and I flagged down a taxi to try to bargain for a cheaper rate. All of a sudden, I heard my team mates shouting from the other side of the road. I ran over and it turned out that one of the drivers whom we have approached at the condo changed his mind and decided to help us, at his inconvenience of course. He called up his clerk to check for directions, and when we saw one of the competing teams in front of us, he accelerated (albeit a little dangerously) to overtake them for us.
We rided on the acts of kindness of other Singaporeans for the rest of the race. I would proceed to describe them, but lest their individual grace and big-heartedness become obscured in my plain wordings, I would like to remind you that each of these Good Samaritans has sacrificed their time and convenience to help us 4 average-looking dudes for absolutely no rewards.
To get to the fourth checkpoint, we encountered a helpful going Malay woman in a carpark at Clementi Central. She drove us all the way to Singapore Discovery Centre.
From SDC, we walked to SAFTI MI, hoping to encounter some army personnels who might help us to get to checkpoint 4. It was Saturday so there weren't many people around. We flagged down a taxi who agreed to drive us to the next checkpoint located at the junction of Sungei Gedong Road and Lim Chu Kang Road for 3 dollars. We got lost a little bit before we found the station masters. When we arrived, knowing that we were in a race, the taxi driver (Mr Tan Ah Ngo of SH 6922 H) did not take our money and asked us to keep it for future use.
Checkpoint 4 was in a very rural area so it was really challenging for us to get to the next checkpoint, which was the Youth Flying Club at Seletar West Camp. Despite so, a nice van driver stopped when I waved at him by the road side. However, his van was filled with bags of fishes so he couldn't take us. In the end, we took a bus to Choa Chu Kang central, and the bus captain let us on for free.
At Choa Chu Kang, a taxi driver offered to send us to Seletar West Camp for only 4 dollars. The trip took at least 20 minutes on the expressway and could have cost us over ten dollars easily.
We met another team (team Titans) at checkpoint 5. They approached a lorry driver waiting at a junction and he agreed to help them. Team Titans graciously asked the driver to let us on too (great sportsmanship) and he agreed. The lorry driver took us to the checkpoint Punggol Jetty, and then to the next one at Punggol Park.
The clue we received at this checkpoint was "Find the shop that sells Heart Shaped Curry puff". We thought the shop was located in the vicinity and we searched the surrounding area for a long time without avail. Finally, we went to the library and a teenager allowed us to use his computer terminal to perform a search. Only then did we realise that this particular shop was located in Geylang Serai temporary market.
We splitted up to seek for help again. When I told a man that we were in a race and we did not have enough money for transportation, he looked concerned and asked me how much we needed. We rejected him with plenty of gratitude because it was against the rules.
After a long time without meeting with any success, we met up and went to a bus stop nearby to check if we can take a bus. A woman overheard our conversation and she came forward to inform us of the bus to take to get to Geylang Serai. When the bus came, we told the driver our situation and he told us to hop on, and helpfully reminded us to "take care of ourselves" should the conductor board the bus.

Gym
One thing about going to the gym here is that you have to contend with being the smallest, skinniest and weakest being. Bench pressing can be quite a psychological challenge sometimes as you try not to feel ridiculous struggling with 70 pounds while those white and black dudes (and sometimes asian) around you are grunting to 100 pounds and usually more.

Went down to DMV to take driving test and failed it!
Haha, exceeded speed limit. Rented a huge Grand Marquis for this test which I am not used to driving. And partly because I was too complacent. The tester is this intimidating black lady. She was chatting heartily with her colleague in the next counter and when she turned to me, her expression changed immediately . It's like one of those scenes you see in a comedy: Blur, nervous guy meets fierce examiner.
Had a potluck today. Cooked my Chow Mien.
Applied for weekend job at Macdonalds, KFC and a events management firm after I return to Singapore. Hopefully I will get at least one.

Phone call
Juz skyped with mum juz now. All my relatives were there, taking turns to talk to me. A lot of laughter. Man, it was nice...
Tuesday, June 5, 2007
I feel hypomanic sometimes when work gets heavy. I would have a lot of energy and motivation to attend to details and seek perfection. I would also require less sleep and derive pleasure from fatigue.
Despite the slumberous pace of summer school, I feel hypomanic now.
I feel happy that I managed to replicate my mum's cooking for dinner: cauliflower with pork. Taste good, in my own opinion.
But, 要学的还多！！
There are so many things to learn and do!!!!

Weekend was interesting.
Invited people to our house for KTV, and my friend cooked pasta for everyone. I have been learning to cook too. Making progresses slowly. Saturday played soccer, watched movie. Today went to friend's house for dinner and played a superinteresting game called boogle. I think I have poor verbal intelligence and that's what make the game interesting: challenging!
I am getting to know my Singaporean friends better.
I realized that it's easy to make assumptions about a person, but gradually as you know more about this person, these assumptions become void. And you will think back and realize that this person has turn out to be quite different from what you thought of initially.

Cooked lunch today. Ingredients: Lotsa common sense and guts to experiment.
It turned out to be pretty good! Stir fried chicken, stir fried fish and stir fried vegetables. Hehe...
The rice was good too.
My house is 5 minutes drive away from school. Carpooling with my friend and we take turns to drive everyday.

Fulls of thoughts
Trip to hawaii and San Fransisco was pretty good.
Some highlights include driving up a 13000 ft mountain, exploring a valley with a 4WD, snorkelling at a bay with clear water and coral reefs, visiting stanford and UC berkeley and meeting up with a secondary school friend yongfeng and found out he hasn't changed (the meeting turned out exactly similar to how i imagined it to be).
My companions have very different personalities, but we got along pretty okay. I learned many things along the way observing and thinking. Sometimes I don't know if I am thinking too much. But as much as I have had fun, I learned a lot about myself from this trip as well.

Can't study? Switch location
I have been studying in my room for the past few days and I realize that I am starting to zone out more often.
There are so many study areas around at east campus. I went study-place hunting and located this secluded classroom with nice ergonomic chairs.
A switch of location can help you focus better. I like to stay away from the crowd so the library and other public studying areas are no-no. Unless there are only a few people around.

It's easy to rest on your laurels when everything is going well.
I am doing well, but it can be better. Thanks brother for pointing it out. It seems so weird to take on such a methodological approach to your social life but I guess whatever way that works is a good way.
I just tried it and the effect is immediate! Exciting!
I have so much more to offer to the people around me.
Guess what it is?

The past 24 hrs or so
Come back from writing discussion.
Thought about possible refinements to my project.
Started on math hw. Stuck. Revised past sections. Crash course on Mathematica to obtain P matrix for Jordan canonical form.
Read writing class's anthology. Started on response. Wrote half a page.
Rushed to West campus for project work.
Volunteered to fix up citation. Crash course on Endnotes. Figured out successfully but realized citation in a huge mess. Some group members not present. Called them up and vomitted blood several times.
Worked on writing discussion. 12 am eat dinner. Work on writing results. Feel awake until 5.30 am. Another respected group member stuck out longer than me. Went back to East campus. Practised piano for keyboard test. Slept. Woke up went to class. Piano keyboard test. Read and edited project report. Pass the remaining stuff to the other 2 members. Scanned my reference material. Lunch. Watch movie. Going to sleep...

I was eating dinner today and I wondered how crazy it would be if my dudes back in singapore & Upenn juz appear magically around me, eating dinner together.
Math lecture was really confusing. After struggling to understand my prof for 15 mins, I left the lecture hall and lay down on the couch outside and decipher the textbook myself. When I went back in, I understand everything she is saying liaoz. Feel smart man!! Haha, maybe I should do this everytime.
Hopefully can my friend will pass me his bicycle and futon after he graduated.
I made more attempts to speak up during discussion today. I am happy with the 2nd attempt. Dun think anyone understood me during the first one.
First Chinese speaking table tomorrow as Hall Rep. Dunnoe wat to do also. Hopefully nothing. Project meeting after that. I like my group members but I wish they can think more.
Project presentation on thursday (code not even finished yet! I feel that I can do everything myself but reluctant)
Senior send off this friday, lang dorm semiformal after that, finally got date (not confirmed also, haiz).
Beyond which mugging zone, writing project, till finals end (stressful weeks).
Hawaii, summer school, back to singapore!
Haven't visited my friend in the hospital for some time. Feeling bad. Tian ah, give me more time!!!

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do
The something that I can do.

Keep this in mind as I face the multitude of tasks ahead.

One after another
Saturday and Sunday were the same for me. Woke up, brush teeth, went down for brunch. Went back to room, sat down, work...
Next time I looked out of the window it was already dark.

The weather is warm now! I can walk out in just t-shirt and jeans and it feels great!!!
I am already looking forward to summer school. There are a couple of other international students who will be staying behind as well. I think there will be more time to hang out and do other stuff. Going Hawaii for a couple of days and then visiting Yexiang in California before that.
And I am looking forward to having a good haircut when I get back to Singapore. I even dreamt of it yesterday!
Most of all, I am looking forward to the new semester! New friends and new environment!

I visited a friend in the hospital today and it was a depressing experience.
I hope she can endure...that kind of pain...
I wish I have more time and strength so I that can lend her some.
And I hope others don't make assumptions about her.
I am a cynic, but I wish I am more, so that I don't have to feel the pain...
The smile she gave when I left was.... a stab in my heart.

Finally, the end of the week draws near.
Math test tomorrow. Dinner with other A-star scholars in the evening.
Dumpling making and dinner with lang dorm dudes tomorrow. Sunday... Probably research on team project or watch a performance.
We are searching for a lobang to fill up the 2 weeks between the end of semester and the commencement of summer school. Found this trip to Peru that bring us to the ruins and stuff.. Pretty cool. But the price not cool: total with airfare and stuff USD 2000 Hua....
The liberal side of me says "Never mind, can earn back next time. More importantly it's to have fun while I still can!"
The non-liberal sides says no.

My work infested day was intruded by this particular person. What adjectives can I use to describe her? Extraordinary? Abnormal? Unique? I guess she is a span of all three characteristics.
Within an hour or two I was given a glimpse into her world, and I marvelled and grieved at the uncanny combination of circumstances that she has experienced (or rather, survived).
My heart feels heavier, but my will is stronger now. I am reminded that Power comes with a clear awareness of the things which you can fully control, and with the Courage and Ease to let go of those which you can't.

It's really weird. All of a sudden, I have learnt how to really listen to and observe another person, and I believe that I have a lot more to learn. One thing is not to form an impression of a person too quickly, and to keep your mind open about what he or she has to say.
Similarly, it's very easy to be misunderstood. When interacting with a person with a particular personality (something which I tend to assume too quickly), I have a tendency to act in a particular manner. Sometimes my intention can get grossly misconstrued.

I have deleted my previous blog for some reasons:
1. I feel the posts are not representative of me anymore. I felt like they were written by a different person.
2. Everyone has had several new beginnings at different phases of their life. After some thinking tonight, I felt that the cumulation of my recent experiences and thoughts have granted me a new beginning.
3. Deletion of my previous blog is a concrete action to signify my decision to try to strike out a new path.
